I feel you. I've been dealin with that shit since I stopped goin out drinkin and fuckin with coke (which actually led to more depression). That shit runs in my family tho and Ive delt with it off and on my whole life. I know my sister has been takin anti-depressants but there are side effects from that shit and I'm not a big fan of medication. The only way I really get out of it is when good shit is goin on in my life. You just need to get motivated to make shit right which is hard to do because depression kills motivation. Try and focus on the possitive shit and ignore the bad and don't dwell on shit from the past...
And I would say don't fuck with weed because that shit makes it hella worse for me when I'm depressed and smoke. I end up OVER ANALYSING every problem in my life when I'm high and depressed, and its just going to make you trip even more. Sometimes you can come up with solutions when your high but 90% of the time you end up forgetting the shit after you come down...

i have dealt with depresssion off and on since i had my first baby when i was 16...then my mom who happened to be my everything, past away about 5 yrs ago....so i deal with it everyday and its very hard to understand or explain to myself why i get so sad sometimes, it just happens, i can be anywhere anytime and it will just hit me....its very hard during the holidays, i really dont even "celebrate" them, i let my oldest daughter go with her dad, and my baby is only 2 so she dont know anything yet, of course i get them a couple presents but as far as getting involved with my family gatherings and spirt n crap, i dont do it...i cant, it depresses me to the point of tears.......anyways, i try to stay busy to maybe keep my mind focused on other thing, my girl plays soccer and baseball and i go to all her games and help out in the snack bar and bla bla, and i stay really busy with work and school.......
try to get involved more with ur kids if ur not, get a membership to a gym and get ur body in good health...get a dog, ive heard they can help with depression....yo gotta find ways to keep yourself busy....if u just mope around all day thinking of how depressed u are then it will get worse and really take u over....depression is real and people kill themselves everyday, if u feel that bad then u should get some help, the help is free, u just gotta want it, go to some aa meetings, they are very helpful and u can meet some people in ur same situaiton and even make new friends......good luck

^I get that saddness out of no where sometimes when I think about my X and my kids. I miss coming home to my family sometimes. I only get to see my kids on the weekends and my X's new husband won't let her talk to me so I havent really seen her in 2-years. I don't care if we're not together but after 8-years with this girl I still miss her sometimes she was my homegirl feel me?
I feel ya !00%. I went thru depression when I was 18. Thats been years ago, but it resurfaced again when I came back to school. I figured since I was going away to college, things would be different. They're not really. Most of the time I'm by myself. I drank every now and again some weekends out of boredom and just to have somethin' to do.
I wouldn't go the medication route unless you feel its absolutely necessary.

Taking anti depressants is like making an emotionless xerox copy of yourself. iv seen freinds change totally off that shit in a bad way, they space out and really dont interact in conversations like they used to...it changes your brains chemichal balance and really turns you into a fucking zombie. Your doctors will jump on the opporutnity to prescribe you an anti depressant, use it only as a last resort cuz i seen people lose themselves on that shit. Im depressed about every day im alive but mary jane help lift stress for me.
well i used to get depressed alot back in the day.
But now I drink and smoke weed so im cool..
I used to be on prozac in my younger days.. never helped...
then i smoked weed that helped..but then i quit...
Then I got into drinking and it helped..
but now I quit..
Now I don't really drink much.. and im not depressed...
you just gotta find out what makes you depressed and cut all that out of your life.. that's what i did..

Since you are feeling this way since you stopped drinking it is safe to say that alcohol is the reason for you being depressed. I dont think taking anti-depressants is a good idea, since you are basically replacing one drug with another to make yoursef feel better. I agree with Boeg on this one you should stay busy doing things that make you ahppy and not rely on something synthetic like a drug to bring you happiness. I hope it works out for you though, ive been there before and it sucks getting up every day with a dperessed mindstate...
I think your excessive drinking had caused you to feel depressed when you are sober, meaning you are addicted. I doubt if you drank cause you were depressed, drinking makes you depressed, once the effects wear off. I have moderate depression & I would not advise taking medication I think it just makes things worse. But thats just IMO. PM me if you wanna talk about it.
